About the book >.>.> Red Army of the Russian Civil War 1917 - 1922 Uniforms, Arms and Organization by Alexander Deryabin provides a comprehensive examination of the uniforms, arms, and organisation of the Worker?s-Peasants Red Army, also known as the RKKA. This work traces the evolution of the Red Army's attire from its origins in the Red Guard units formed after the February Revolution of 1917 and the remnants of the old Russian Imperial Army. The initial uniforms blended old military styles with distinguishing red armbands and additional insignia, marking a deliberate effort to differentiate the new revolutionary forces.The book details the various garments worn by RKKA soldiers, including service caps, tunics, and trousers, which were often adapted from previous military gear or civilian clothing due to supply limitations. As the war progressed, a move towards standardisation emerged, leading to the introduction of regulated uniforms, such as the distinctive cloth hat adorned with a coloured star, initially termed Bogatyr and later known as ?Budyonovki.? This transition reflected a broader movement within the Red Army towards unity and identification, even as logistical challenges persisted in providing adequate supplies for all personnel.Deryabin also addresses the significant contributions of clothing factories that mobilised to produce uniforms and footwear, albeit under challenging circumstances. The narrative shifts to highlight the attention given by Bolshevik leaders, notably L.D. Trotskii, who advocated for improved uniform provision to ensure the effectiveness and morale of the RKKA. Through meticulous documentation, this book serves as an essential resource for understanding the military attire that played a crucial role during the turbulent years of the Russian Civil War. (LL).…
